Parent-Teen Join Hand In Hand for Safer Driving
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States. Over 5,000 teen’s ages 16 to 20 die due to fatal injuries each year caused by car accidents and about 400, 000 drivers will be seriously injured. These teen drivers are four times more likely than older drivers to crash.
It’s so depressing to find out this facts about how unsafe our teenagers to be driving in Kentucky roads. But we can’t stop them and take away their rights to drive. As parents, we can make a big positive difference to preventing car crashes which is considered to be the number one killer of our teens. Here is a one-minute- I Pledge Video - that shows parents pledging to protect their teen drivers, the same way they pledged to keep them safe since the day they were born. We do everything we can just to make sure of our child’s safety and protection.
We have the greatest influence over our teen’s behavior and we could play a key role in preventing our teen involving car crashes and deaths. Let’s get involved with our teen’s driving. First step is to talk about staying safe behind the wheel. Set some agreements and rules in driving such as avoiding distractions while driving, prohibiting driving late at night or setting some curfew time and wearing of seat belts at all time. Learning and enforcing your state’s teen driving laws is a must for your teen to acknowledge. Let’s practice driving as often as we can with our teens and supervised his/her driving period so that they’ll be more experience and safer behind the wheel.
Motor vehicle crashes can happen to anyone here in Kentucky because all new drivers who lack experience are more likely to crash. Therefore, let Parent and Teen join hand in hand for safer driving in Kentucky roads.
